The Official NBA Season Thread: USA Wins Gold 🥇

Yeah being the “Ultimate bag getter” isn’t purely about the size of the bags. It’s about the size of the bags relative to what you’ve done before and after that contract. An ultimate bag getter continuously gets big bags while underdelivering.

Parsons for $45MM/3yrs from Dallas after 3 years in Houston and close to $100MM over 4 years from Memphis. He played exactly 100 games on that contract, man

I know injuries suck and he had that accident where he got hit by a drunk driver but what he got paid in comparison to what he produced is ultimate bag getter status. On podcasts he even laughs about the situation and how a physical Almost ****ed up his scheme.

Chandler Parsons is near the top

Also, you can’t just look at value of the contracts because aside from global inflation, player salaries have gone up.

I think everyone agrees that Fred Vanvleet should not be earning this much money though.

FVV’s salary is more a product of timing and circumstance than the Rockets overpaying him because they believe he is worth anywhere $43.3MM, respectfully.

Timing would be the new CBA with a salary floor. Circumstance would be Houston needed to spend and has a bunch of young guys to develop so the signing was more about fit than a $40MM player to take them to the playoffs this year.

Why did we pay that much for FVV and we just killed it in the draft. So Unnecessary

Because the new CBA forced yall to spend the money on something.

Literally had to use it.

Congrats to him though

Hali deserves it. Best PG in the East.

Desmond Bane got a max for being a worse Klay Thompson

 

[Blue Mamba]

Bane not even an all star and he’s getting a supermax. Theres never been a better time to be an above average player in the NBA

 

[bhzmafia14]

Knew this was get done much sooner than later.

New toe Bane next year

 

[dacomeup]

That girl has slowly veered into Sage Steele territory.

I expect her to go to Fox and join that other guy.

Y’all so weird man

Bane can at least dribble

Bane > Klay

 

[reconic supreme]

 

[pmatic]

Ant Edwards is getting the max, but I'm really curious what McDaniels gets.
